Abstract

This paper describes our research into producing an ultimate state design tool for the analysis and design of stiffened shell structures using an adaptive finite element analysis technique. We developed a quadrilateral finite element mesh generator, linked it to our linear finite element stiffened shell analysis program and went on to develop an error estimator. This program was integrated and has an adaptive mesh refinement strategy that significantly improves adaptivity performance. The program also has a higher error convergence rate than other programs usually used. We know of no other integrated program that can deal with arbitrary located stiffeners in shell structures. Having successfully developed a linear integrated program for stiffened shell we describe some of the development of our non-linear integrated program.
